Fido Dido is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game based on the character and former mascot of 7-Up, Fido Dido. It was developed by Teeny Weeny Games and was set to be published by Kaneko in 1993.
Despite the game being reportedly finished, Fido Dido was cancelled for unknown reasons, though a ROM of the complete game has since been dumped. Pirated versions of the game have also been spotted, and its widespread circulation frequently leads to the misconception this game was officially released. Fido Dido even got to the stage where it was given cover art in the US and rated by Sega's Videogame Rating Council (as GA). It was also demonstrated at CES 1993.
The reasoning behind Fido Dido's cancellation is unknown, however it was around this time when 7-Up changed their mascot to Cool Spot. There was also reportedly a SNES version in development, though this has yet to be unearthed. Judging by Kaneko's earlier releases (and the fact the Fido Dido character was rarely seen outside of North America), it can be assumed that no European or Japanese version of the game was planned.
